Download as PDF 49280 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 161 / Wednesday, August 20, 2014 / Notices following the 2006 honey industry petition and using an amended version of the Codex Standard for Honey, CODEX standard 12–1981, Rev. 2 (2001), variations in the state standards of identity for honey are inevitable. The end result could lead to an assortment of standards that vary from state to state and impede interstate commerce. AMS is seeking comments on the petitioner’s request for a standard of identity for honey and, specifically, the adoption of deviations as defined in the petitioner’s request, and draft proposal. This notice provides for a 30 day period for interested parties to comment on the petitioners’ request, and on how an appropriate Federal standard for the identity of honey would be in the interest of consumers, the honey industry, and United States agriculture.
